Profile:
Alan Igglesden is one of the great English fast bowlers that never was.
Dogged by injury, he never achieved what his ability promised. A high,
whippy action followed a vigorous approach to the crease, where every inch
of his slender, 6'6" frame caused awkward bounce for the batsman.
Debuting for Kent in 1986, Igglesden won his cap in 1989, taking 56
first-class wickets, and earned a place in the team for the final Test
against Australia. He performed well enough (taking three wickets on a flat
pitch, as England avoided defeat for only the second time in the series) to
win a spot on the England A tour to Zimbabwe that winter. He also enjoyed a
successful stint in South African domestic cricket, representing Western
Province in 1987-88, and Boland in 1992-93, where he took his career-best
performance of 7-28 (12-66 in the match) against Griqualand West, and
claimed 39 wickets at an average of just 11 in the season. The biggest
benefit of his winter abroad was his acquisition of the outswinger, to help
compensate for the gradual loss of pace caused by his injuries.
At the start of 1993 the selectors decided that he had developed into a
genuine Test player, but a succession of injuries robbed him of the
opportunity of taking the field against Australia. Neither fully fit not at
full pace, he underperformed in the West Indies, where he played his final
two Tests at the start of the England tour. Awarded a testimonial in 1998 by
Kent (raising £145,000), he could manage only 70 overs as injury again
intervened. Representing Berkshire in the Minor Counties Championship in
1999 he suffered an epileptic fit in July. Upon investigation doctors found
an inoperable, but non-cancerous brain tumour, that has since been
successfully treated by medication.
